Discovery...

well..i'm currently watching the live feed from nasa now..and the damn weather ard KSC is just not gd..dammit..they might have to go Edwards AFB..well...just hope they can land safetly today..following the shuttle and stuff i currently have new wishes..i wanna take pics and videos of a space shuttle re-entry in a clear morning sky..b4 the sun rises...it would be even better if i was on a plane and i get to take those shots..

i also wanan be the first singaporean in space.. that would be like the best..i would put singapore on the map..i would get great pics of earth too..and when i get in space and orbit the earth..one of the things i wanna do is to take pics of singapore from space..

on of my short term goal is to take pics of lightning.. i was watching this discovery channel about megalightning...wow man..there are this 2 types of lightning that i currently wanan take pics of...one are called red sprites (something lidat)..its starts from above storm clouds and shoot miles up towards the stratosphere..it starts like a lightning and just spread out where it is red a tthe top...another one is called blue jets..it is a blue, cone-shaped burst that occurs above the center of a storm cloud and moves upward toward the stratosphere at a high rate of speed..

frm that programme it was tot that columbia was brought down by a sprite while re-entry..the funny thing was columbia was that one of columbia mission was to record frm space lightning activity..abt sprites and those blue stuff..and nasa wondered if a space shuttle could survive a sprite strike...well..columbia took this vid of a meteor entry into earth that cause a sprite to strike it...and it was believe that during the re-entry of columbia, he same thing happened...a lightning strike...a meteor entry is some what similiar to a shuttle re-entry....well we will nv know...

damn why do i love this space and science stuff so much..i wanna learn mroe abt all this stuff man..like abt the lightning and stuff..wow...well abt to watching the live feed of the shuttle landing.. and ndp too..
